He was also one of a few Mongolians awarded with the Tannu-Tuva People's Republic award, namely the Order of the Labor Red Banner. You can see Mijid's picture (with the uniform) in my book, page 78.
Thanks for the reference. I was always amazed that he was allowed to accept and wear that award, especially given Choibalsan's attitude toward Tannu-Tuva and their leaders. Maybe there was just no choice.
